2. Control Panel Button Details and Meanings
The panel is designed to suit the Arabic kitchen and contains pre-set options (with one touch) for the most popular dishes:
Buttons on the left side:
• Rice: For cooking white rice or popular rice dishes (Makhboos/Kabsa) with perfect timing.
• Mataziz: A dedicated program for cooking Mataziz or Marqooq to ensure the dough and meat are cooked together.
• Soup: For preparing various types of soups.
• Hashi: A special program for camel meat (Hashi) or tough meats that require high pressure and longer cooking time to become tender.
Buttons in the middle (Control Buttons):
• Keep Warm / Cancel: * One press cancels any running program.
• When cooking is finished, the pot automatically switches to "Keep Warm" mode to maintain food temperature.
• Preset Timer: To delay the start of cooking (e.g., set the pot now to start working after two hours).
• (+ and -) Buttons: To manually increase or decrease cooking time as desired.
• Cake: Yes, you can bake cakes inside the pot using low heat without strong steam pressure.
• Slow Cook: For very slow cooking over long periods (like dishes that require tenderizing).
Buttons on the right side:
• Fish: Very short cooking time as fish cooks quickly and cannot withstand long pressure.
• Chicken: For cooking chicken (pressure cooked, chicken kabsa, or stews).
• Meat: For medium lamb and veal cuts.
• Grape Leaves: A program that ensures grape leaves and rice are cooked slowly to become tender (melt-in-your-mouth).
3. Safe Usage Method (Very Important)
The pot relies on trapped steam pressure. For complete safety, pay attention to the top valve (in the second image):
1. Before cooking (Closing the pot): After adding food and closing the lid, ensure you turn the top safety valve to the Lock/Sealing position to prevent air from escaping so that pressure builds up inside.
2. During cooking: The pot will start generating heat, and the screen timer will not start counting down until the pot is completely pressurized.
3. After cooking (Opening the pot): * Warning: Never try to force open the lid when the pot is pressurized.
• Carefully turn the top valve (preferably use a wooden spoon or a cloth to protect your hand) and direct it to the Exhaust/Venting position.
• Wait until all steam has completely escaped and the small red button (pressure indicator) has lowered. Then you can open the lid easily and safely.
4. Pot Care Tips
• Lid Seal: Ensure the black or white rubber gasket under the lid is clean and properly installed, as any defect will prevent the pot from sealing steam.
• Cleaning: Wipe the pot's front panel (the control panel) with a damp cloth only. Do not pour water directly on it to protect the electrical circuits. The inner pot (the bowl) should be washed normally, preferably using a soft sponge to maintain its condition.
